Analysis of The A B C's of Alexander
Down the hill, in the woods where creeks meander,
I went exploring with Alexander.
Not Alexander the great, but Alexander, the grander.
Animated, brave, creative Alexander.
Daring, Enthusiastic, Fun-loving, Game,
(Not haughty, Inept, Jealous, Kinky, or Lame,
Malevolent, nit-picking, Obese, or a self-righteous pain.)
Questing Alexander is as Right as rain.
He's a Sober, thoughtful, upright commander,
Very wise, exceptional young Alexander!
An intelligent explorer, delightful Zest and candor.
Nobody's grander than Alexander.
